Dragon’s Crown’s controversial character designs have been earning it negative scores for sexism, with its “ultimate hardbody” Amazon and “excessively animated” sorceress not proving popular with some elements of the more sexually enlightened western gaming press, to say nothing of its “groping” mini-game.

The busty new Akio Takami designed characters boasted by the new Maken-Ki! season have been shown off in all their considerable animation, revealing oppai anime may finally have something to get excited over again.

None of the characters were likeable IMO, though I'll agree that the main character was especially bad. He just... lacks a personality. It's like he's a bad actor who is rather obviously only there to... More

Ultimate production controversy anime Free! actually boasts a crack KyoAni team and could be a hit, it is being said – and Hiroko Utsumi, the raging fujoshi directing it, probably explains much of its direction and potential quality.

Ultimate production controversy anime Aku no Hana is still proving as incendiary as ever, with the rotoscope treatment of the original’s “reverse rape” scene setting hearts aflutter for the eventual sex scenes present in the manga, and “fans” generally of the opinion that series could have dominated the season had it been animated properly…

>> the beautiful anime of today will be ugly in 5-10 years anyway

Deal. Its crap-oscope.
Only sheeple would excuse this as groundbreaking anime when 'anime' itself is defined by its style and look.
By sheeple definition, 70s and 80s U.S. animation like the equally crap-oscoped 1977 'Hobbit',... More

Oppai anime Maken-Ki has been rescued from its generic character designs and is being resurrected with a new production staff, being directed by XEBEC’s Hiraku Kaneko (Qwaser, Manyuu, and the designer of Cattleya) and with the famously voluptuous character designs of Akio Takami (Kanokon, Ladies vs Butlers! and Upotte!).

The universally loathed character designs inflicted upon Aku no Hana in its anime adaptation are proving incendiary amongst fans of the original, a well regarded adolescent romance manga formerly known for its elegant art.

Tony fans have been excited to learn the world’s most popular gengaka has just announced he will be turning his hand to designing anime and illustrating light novels, amazingly enough having so far not yet pursued either line of business.

The newly revealed ensemble Lightning will be sporting for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (or what might otherwise be Final Fantasy XIII-3) has quickly become the subject of ridicule amongst Final Fantasy fans, and despair amongst Lightning lovers.

Combat butler anime Hayate no Gotoku’s new incarnation Hayate no Gotoku: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You continues to provoke controversy amongst long-time fans for the “quality” of its ever changing character designs – some wryly remarking that it is as well that the animation is so poor, since it at least makes them the less recognisable…
